| maybe 4 hours total on mine Installed fresh copy on my computer 9/1/03:
AMD Athlon 1700+ 384MB SDRAM
120GB WD 7200RPM HD
2.1 mbit Cable (Road Runner)
PowerColor ATI Radeon 9600pro (only 2700 on benchmark???)
INSTALLATION BOX:
First release version of FFXI and PlayOnline box (import)
First release Add-on FFXI Expansion (import)
CD-ROM speed: 52x read
From opening box to playing:
Installing POL/FF11 (base install): 10 minutes
Patching POL: 5 minutes
Registering POL: 1 hour (was having trouble figuring out how to input japanese kanji etc. etc.)
FFXI patching: Step 1/2/3 - 5 minutes/60 minutes/ 5 minutes
FFXI expansion install: 5 minutes
FFXI expansion patching: Step 1/2/3 - 10 minutes/30 minutes/3 minutes
Maybe a little over 4 hours total, a fourth of which was spent reading over Osaka's install faq in the forums.
Speaking of which, now that I have the import game, how do I register for "importer status" for the forums? And who do I notify to be included in the player directory?
